Hello,

You can achieve the desired functionality by registering to the CellFormatting event, and check for that specific column, please take a look at the following example:

void radGridView1_CellFormatting(object sender, CellFormattingEventArgs e)
{
    if (e.CellElement.ColumnInfo.Name == "YOUR_COLUMN_NAME")
    {
        e.CellElement.ForeColor = Color.Blue;
        e.CellElement.GradientStyle = Telerik.WinControls.GradientStyles.Solid;
        e.CellElement.BackColor = Color.Red;
        e.CellElement.Font = new Font(e.CellElement.Font, FontStyle.Underline);
        e.CellElement.DrawFill = true;
    }
    else
    {
        e.CellElement.DrawFill = false;
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.ForeColorProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.BackColorProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.GradientStyleProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
        e.CellElement.ResetValue(LightVisualElement.FontProperty, Telerik.WinControls.ValueResetFlags.Local);
    }
}

Hope this helps, if you have any other questions or comments, please let me know,

Best Regards,

Hello,

It looks like your question might be for the Silverlight forums. If that's the case, please re-direct your question there.
Thanks

Hello Vidhya,

 
CellFormatting event is specific to our RadGridView/WinForms and there is no exact equivalent in our RadGridView/Silverlight. You may use several approaches to achieve the same result based on your project requirements.
Some of the possible options are listed below:

1.You can create named styles targeted at GridViewCell and apply this style in RadGridView's columns as it is shown below:

<UserControl
    xmlns="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml/presentation"
    xmlns:x="http://schemas.microsoft.com/winfx/2006/xaml"
    xmlns:telerik="http://schemas.telerik.com/2008/xaml/presentation"
    x:Class="SilverlightApplication147.MainPage"
    Width="640" Height="480">
    <UserControl.Resources>
        <Style x:Key="a1" TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Red"/>
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Black"/>
            <Setter Property="FontWeight" Value="Bold"/>
        </Style>
        <Style x:Key="a2" TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Blue"/>
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="Yellow"/>
            <Setter Property="FontStyle" Value="Italic"/>
        </Style>
        <Style x:Key="a3" TargetType="telerik:GridViewCell">
            <Setter Property="Background" Value="Black"/>
            <Setter Property="Foreground" Value="PeachPuff"/>
        </Style>
        </UserControl.Resources>
    <Grid x:Name="LayoutRoot" Background="White" DataContext="{Binding Source={StaticResource SampleDataSource}}">
        <telerik:RadGridView  AutoGenerateColumns="False" ShowColumnFooters="True" ItemsSource="{Binding Collection}">
            <telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn CellStyle="{StaticResource a1}" Header="Price" DataFormatString="{}{0:c}"  DataMemberBinding="{Binding Property1}"/>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn CellStyle="{StaticResource a2}" Header="Name" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Property3}"/>
                <telerik:GridViewDataColumn CellStyle="{StaticResource a3}" Header="CompanyName" DataMemberBinding="{Binding Property4}"/>

                </telerik:RadGridView.Columns>
            </telerik:RadGridView>

    </Grid>
</UserControl>

2.You may also use the CellTemplateSelectors to apply some different datatemplate in specific column, please follow this link.

If you need any additional information please let me know.
